dtu(1) CLIX dtu(1)
NAME
dtu, utd - Copies files between MS-DOS and CLIX
SYNOPSIS
dtu [-p] file1 file2
dtu [-p] file ... directory
dtu [-p] file ... >file
utd [-p] file1 file2
utd [-p] file ... directory
utd [-p] <file file2
DESCRIPTION
The dtu command copies files from MS-DOS to CLIX, and utd command copies
files from CLIX to MS-DOS.
Not all CLIX filenames are legal under MS-DOS. An MS-DOS filename
consists of eight or fewer characters and an extension of three or fewer
characters. The following characters are illegal in MS-DOS filenames:
? . , ; : = * / \ + " < >
If necessary (when using utd to copy several CLIX files to an MS-DOS
directory), utd forms legal MS-DOS filenames from CLIX filenames. It does
so by truncating any names or extensions that are too long and changing
any illegal characters to @.
Normally, utd and dtu assume that text files are being copied and adjust
for the difference in end-of-line and end-of-file conventions between the
two systems. The -p flag will override this feature and cause the files
to be transferred with no interpretation.
Drive a: (the floppy drive), b: (the external floppy drive for systems
with two floppy drives), or c: (the DOS partition of the hard disk) may be
accessed with this command. If no drive is specified, a: (the floppy
drive) is assumed.
EXAMPLES
utd *.c a:\csrc
dtu *.h | pg

NOTES
MS-DOS pathnames that contain wildcards should be enclosed in quotation
marks to prevent the shell from interpreting them.
The dtu and utd commands cannot read or write disks created on versions of
DOS prior to 2.0.
CAUTIONS
The dtu command is no longer supported, and may be broken. This command
has been replaced by the mtools command mcopy.
